Framed paper on a wall in the middle of the pub near the bar, bearing the signatures of Lewis, Tolkien, and other Inklings saying they had raised a glass to the landlord's health. In the 1940s and 50s, C.S. Lewis was a member of a small group of like-minded friends called "The Inklings." They met the Eagle and Child Pub on St. Giles Street in Oxford to discuss literature, writing, religion and life. Another prominent member of the Inklings was Lewis' Catholic friend J.R.R. Tolkien; discussions at this pub contributed to the final form of both Lewis' Narnia books and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series.
